Dog kennel panels

Kennel Panels


The inception of our company! Back in 1972, the original founder of our business, Corporal Lorne MacDonald, while employed by the former City of Dartmouth’s Police Department, trained and become the first Dog Master on their force. Living and working together, side by side, on-call 24 hours a day, with his canine partner, MacDonald expertly designed and manufactured a top quality kennel to house his beloved companion. This resulted in numerous requests to re-produce and sell to other colleagues and friends in his spare time.

Corporal MacDonald Kennel Panels

Since that time we have supplied other dog masters, animal trainers, breeders, boarding kennels, veterinary hospitals and hundreds of pet owners with housing solutions. We are known for providing safety with superior design and quality construction.


Our standard panels are available in widths of 4’, 5’, 6’, 8’, 10’, 12’ and 15’ and standard heights are 5’ and 6’ high. Door panels are available in widths ranging from 4’ to 12’. Our standard 6’ high door panels are constructed with a 5’ high door over a one ft. step-over for easy of opening door in snow conditions.

Plated bollards are also being used indoors, in warehouses, for asset protection or where digging or drilling is not an option.
